“…down by the banks of the river Charles.”
Off-duty Officer Gillis wandered down Charles Street toward Storrow Drive and the river. The sky was pewter pink with flecks of gray clouds strafing its line. It would open in easy glimpses as his sight passed one building to the next. He had a habit of looking up into the spaces between brownstones; between anything more than a few stories high. It was difficult this evening, around 8 o'clock during daylight savings time, for him to remember he wasn't donning his policing duds.
